The Global Cities Index has named the “most liveable destination” in the world, with a picturesque European city taking the top spot due to its walkability. The study considered six key factors: life expectancy, income per person, income equality, recreational and cultural amenities, internet speed, and housing costs.
While European cities dominate the rankings, an Australian city also made the cut.
